Having spent over 30 years at various CEO, COO and board level positions in India, Japan, Thailand, China and Europe, across both the industrials and automotive sectors, I have also led a number of cross border transactions and joint ventures. Previously I was CEO and President of the holding company for Techno Metal (Japan and Thailand) and Asahi Metals (Japan). My experience includes business planning and strategy, post-merger integration and corporate planning, market assessment and evaluating product entry strategies. With my long standing industry experience, I look forward to drive Churchgate Partners growth in India especially across key sectors. In a world which is increasingly internationally connected across customers, financing  and strategy, leveraging global corporate relationships becomes a true competitive advantage. I graduated in Mechanical Engineering from Banaras Hindu University although no academic education could have ever prepared me for the cultural and business challenges of leading a high profile Japanese manufacturing company for many years.
